In the autumn of 2000, Great Canadian Wilderness was proud to accommodate author Alan Weisman and renowned photojournalist Jay Dickman on our 'Dance with Caribou' trip to our unique wildlife base camp on the remote tundra of the upper Thelon River, along the boundary of Canada's Northwest Territories & Nunavut. Both men joined this special trip on assignment with Conde Nast Traveler magazine: the resulting excellent article titled 'Diamonds In The Wild' was recently published in the December 2001 issue - check it out! |

Jay had this to say about his trip with us:
|
"The business of photography can take one many places.I've been in the business many years and have been fortunate to have visited (on assignment) nearly 50 countries. In that time, you do have your favorites, each bringing up a different set of memories: some good, some bad, some utterly life-changing and stamped indelibly in your mind." |
|
|
|
"I've worked quite a bit in northern Canada and Alaska on assignments for National Geographic and Conde Nast Traveler. My assignment from Traveler, late in the summer of 2000, was to photograph Canada's Thelon Wildlife Sanctuary and third-generation guide "Tundra Tom". |
"I'd never been fortunate enough to visit
"Shield Country", and was not sure what to expect. The "Dance with
Caribou" part was something I had no idea about. The entire
trip/experience proved to be one of the incredible memories in this
career." |

|
"The eskers, the light, the wildlife (musk-ox, arctic wolves, caribou, all as guaranteed) as well as the companionship (and food) and expertise of Tom and staff naturalist Terry Elliott was staggering." |
"In between assignments, sitting in my office,
daydreaming of where I would like to be, Tom's camp and surrounding
wonderland keeps creeping to the top of my list."
